300 tells the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which King Leonidas and his army of 300 men fight the Persian king, Xerxes, with his army of more than 300,000 soldiers. It’s a brutal and action-packed movie with its fair share of bloody and gruesome scenes, and the poster sets you up for this beautifully. It features imagery of soldiers being ...
Believe it or not, it’s over 10 years since the release of Bad Boys II (2003), and I personally remember going to see it the day it was released, where I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Bad Boys II is actually more of an action-comedy, although it has it’s fair share of action-packed scenes, including the classic car chase sequence, which has Michae...
Drive was only released four years ago, but it’s already gone on to become one of the most iconic action-movies of all time. It might not be a classic, blood-splattered, all-guns-blazing type of action-movie – and Ryan Gosling might say very little throughout the entire movie – but when an action scene does take place, it’s really something special...
The Bourne Ultimatum was released in 2007, and was the third Bourne movie in the series. The interesting thing about this poster is that it seemingly breaks every rule in the book, by having the main star of the movie (Matt Damon) showing just the back of his head, and nothing else. It’s a concept that likely wouldn’t have worked so well for any ot...
Iron Man is another movie with a poster that seemingly breaks all of the rules, but for a different reason: the poster doesn’t actually tell you the name of the movie at all. Instead, it shows nothing more than the Iron Man mask, along with the date of release. There’s not even a mention of the films main star (Robert Downey Jr.), which is certainl...
For me, personally, Rambo: First Blood has to be the greatest action-movie of all time (or at least one of the greatest). I remember watching this movie when it was first released back in 1982 (which is over 30 years ago, might I add!) and being absolutely blown away not only by Stallone’s performance, but also the ridiculously graphic nature of th...
Die Hard tells the story of New York cop, John McClane, who ends up in a situation where he single-handedly has to defeat a large group of terrorists. The odds are against him, but in true action-movie style, he pulls it off beautifully. The movie poster for the film is quite simple, and features an iconic shot of Bruce Willis (John McClane) holdin...
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is actually the fourth movie in the Mission Impossible franchise, and it certainly has one of the most iconic movie posters of all-time. It depicts Tom Cruise (the movies main star) clinging from the tallest building in the world by one hand, which is actually a teaser for one of the most gripping scenes in the mo...
There’s no doubt about it; Jason Statham is action-movie royalty these days, and in my opinion, his 2011-movie The Mechanic goes down as one of the greatest action movies of recent years. It also has one of the coolest posters, depicting nothing more than an illustration of a gun, made-up of other guns. There’s even a gun-trigger, too. It would hav...
There have been some absolutely stunning James Bond movie posters over the years, but this poster for the 2008 movie, Quantum of Solace, is undoubtedly one of the best. It depicts nothing more than a shadow of a man holding a large weapon, yet it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make the connection: this is James Bond holding the weapon. Once aga...
- David Leitch. David Leitch is one of the biggest rising names in the action genre as he’s partially responsible for the creation of John Wick and has helmed some notable entries in big franchises and original action flicks.
- The Russo Brothers. Anthony and Joe Russo, aka The Russo Brothers, became synonymous for delivering four fan-favorite MCU films, including Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, but are also becoming pivotal players in the action genre.
- Chad Stahelski. Chad Stahelski is the main mind behind the John Wick film franchise, which has not only become one of the biggest action franchises of all time but also brought Keanu Reeves back into the limelight.
- Christopher McQuarrie. Tom Cruise’s return to being a full-blown action star wouldn’t be possible without Christopher McQuarrie helming most of the modern Mission Impossible movies.

Action film directors guide the filming and creative elements in action movies, a film genre where action sequences, such as fights, shootouts, stunts, car chases or explosions either take precedence, or, in finer examples of the genre, are used as a form of exposition and character development.
2 days ago · During a recent interview with io9, Miller was asked about his philosophy when creating these massive action scenes, and he went on to compare his action sequences to music. Miller said: “Well, I think the best analogy is music. It’s kind of visual music. What it’s got in common with music is that it’s time-based and therefore rhythm-based.
